On Wednesday, as White House staffers put out the customary fires, and journalists filed their stories, social media was (for once) not focused on the president’s antics but rather the horrific flooding in the greater Houston area. Hurricane Harvey was all that people could think about—a rare unifying event. The Internet and cable news were teeming with heartbreaking images of people wading in water up to their waistlines, of highways that had become rivers. Then, by mid-morning, Donald Trump did what he always seems to do when people, even momentarily, stop talking about him: he tweeted.

“After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY?” Trump wrote in a tweet surprisingly absent any spelling errors. “All I want to do is #MAGA!”

The “magazines” he was referring to appeared to refer to, perhaps among others, this one. Indeed, my esteemed colleague Sarah Ellison had recently published an article explaining how Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump had become exiles in their elite circle. It was the talk of the town in Washington this week.

On this episode of Inside the Hive, Sarah discusses how the second First Couple became persona non grata in D.C. She also offers her analysis, after years of covering Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, on the fracturing of right-wing media, and forecasts the long-term effects of the president’s attack on “fake news.”
